ATSM - Vintage!

We are so lucky to be sponsored this week by Inspired by Stamping. Joanna has generously provided a $20 gift voucher for our Top Addict to use at her store!

Now, Vintage, is something I don't really 'do' but that's what these challenges are all about!

Here is my DT card and you can decide :)

The hardest thing for me to do with cardmaking is layers. I am pretty much more CAS-inclined. I really enjoyed making this though - it pushed me to think of 'what else can I add to this card'?

In a nutshell - I have stamped a new stamp called Vintage Love with Versamark ink and clear embossed. The music sheet is also a new stamp and it is inked with Vintage Photo. The DP is from a pad that uses all vintage type styles.

The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping (our sponsor) and is from the Fancy Sentiments set. The little charm is from Stampin Up. Now, the green 'flower' that you see is my first attempt at trying to make my own flower out of ribbon. This entailed using a running stitch and with the loose ends, pull the ribbon together and manipulate it into the shape you like. This one didn't 'quite' work but I couldn't bring myself not to use it for something. I have popped an antique brad in the centre. Considering I don't sew, I wasn't too unhappy with it ;)

So, that's about it! I hope it is Vintage enough for your liking and will inspire you to play along :)

Hi Kylie. You did a fabulous job with your vintage card - you look like an expert to me! Great layering of papers and stamps. And the embellishments are so perfect ... especially love the key and ribbon flower!! Loll xx

I think you don't need any practice with vintage, Kylie, this is great job! The layers look beautiful and all the stamping too. I love the lady in the left corner! She looks so mysterious... Maybe because of the stylish hat. :)

Hi Kylie. Exquisite card. Really love the LO as it draws your eye in and takes you around the card finishing at the lovely key in the corner. A real vintage chic feel about it. Hope you are feeling better.Hugs, Florence xx
